Well it would have been nice if the www had turned into a people's network of editable, interconnected documents. At this point it's about as far from that as we can get. It's a giant dystopian shopping mall. Could we activate the editable people's web? Could we resurrect the original Web 2.0 (before the meaning of "sharing" got mangled into "forward this corporate media post to another customer")? Yes, we could. We probably should. But we can barely get the Fediverse into the mainstream. Nobody blogs anymore. Attention spans are close to 0.
